For every table (array) in a Forces Object there is a properties
object (accessible via the protocol) which includes the first free
table entry, as well as the last used table entry.  So the
information the CE needs is always available.
In fact, since the CE generally created the table, and created the
entries, it is anticipated that the CE will normally have a mirror
copy with any annotation information it wants, obviating the need to
query these fields.
